  • ryan: @danielraffel what, you can't do both at the same time? (Just got my 23andme kit, too. So stoked!)

  • ryan: Looks like I made an appearance on the Twitter Android app launch post! Thanks @leleand! http://bit.ly/9KGDQu

  • ryan: @jeffl8n which is why in either case we should be moving away from (foreign) oil and investing heavily in EVs.

    08:44:45 pm on April 30, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @jeffl8n didn't realize a bird flying into a windmill caused public health and ecological issues for thousands of miles of coast.

    08:34:01 pm on April 30, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @Raddock some people already are. We're getting close! Next 1-2 years will be really kick off EVs.

    06:44:15 pm on April 30, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @robsantoro and I also just explained why.

    06:32:22 pm on April 30, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @robsantoro actually, that was a retweet. But if I'm implying anything, it's that we break dependency on oil and invest in EVs.

    06:28:38 pm on April 30, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @KennethJJones do you understand what a retweet is?

    06:07:28 pm on April 30, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: RT @billmaher: Every ahole who ever chanted 'Drill baby drill' should have to report to the Gulf coast today for cleanup duty /via Aaron

  • ryan: @Snowbear yes, remind me to never use figures of speech. Stale prose FTW.

    08:11:53 am on April 30, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: Apple: you can love or hate 'em, but anyone driving ever more nails in Flash's coffin is, in my opinion, doing god's work. True.

    07:57:41 am on April 30, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @smikwily have you actually taken a moment to think about how paranoid that is? Flash games have zero impact on their bottom line.

    07:42:19 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @smikwily Apple doesn't make any more or less money by excluding Flash. None of these arguments are defensible.

  • ryan: OH regarding invite to FPS beta: "The rest of the masses will join in on Monday.... so you (may) have a tea-bag free weekend of playing."

    06:32:59 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @a1by it was a fictional middle east country, unlike CoD 1-3 + 5 (which were based on actual WW2 battles).

    06:23:05 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @jhuebel haha, totally.

    06:20:45 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: RT @harrymccracken: I really like Steve Jobs' blog, except for the fact that he only seems to update it about once every three years.

    06:17:49 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @miquonranger03 hehe, but you do realize CoD in WW2 was based on actual battles, while Modern Warfare is just a fiction, right?

    06:17:38 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: The reason why I won't be playing Call of Duty Vietnam: because we never should have been there in the first place.

    06:14:01 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @smikwily then you don't really understand Flash. I've worked in the web for many years and those are the facts of Flash. This isn't new.

    05:37:54 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @smikwily some things are open, some are closed. Google's search technology is closed, but it supports an open web. There's a distinction.

    05:24:42 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @smikwily did you actually read it? The point Jobs makes is that Apple supports an open, standards-based web. Flash is not open.

    05:19:47 pm on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: Steve Jobs's super interesting essay on Flash: http://gdg.to/9edNa4

  • ryan: OH "He's just a normal guy, so I can see how that was traumatic. But if he was in Jackass, that would have paid his bills for six months."

    05:27:25 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @compuguy it's really got nothing to do with old school vs new school. It's simply estimates vs actual data. /cc @joshuatopolsky

    05:12:19 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @rendernyc because it uses a desktop processor, it's not an embedded device like iPhone / iPod touch / iPad.

    04:44:55 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @mrtomahawk yes, because unlike webOS, Android, iPhone OS, and almost every other embedded OS, Windows Embedded has a special x86 build.

    03:48:13 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @officeal I think we'll be all moved in in a couple of months!

    03:43:55 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @mrtomahawk actually no, you can't.

    03:30:18 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @jplusa because the HP slate is a tablet PC, it requires a desktop OS like Windows to run. It would need to be totally rebuilt to run webOS.

    03:23:08 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @NetShroud um, no, the iPad is not a tablet PC, it uses an ARM processor and embedded electronics. HUGE difference.

    03:22:28 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @officeal btw, love the site! I was JUST looking for something like this to get a little office design inspiration!

    03:01:25 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: Granted, I'm not saying HP + Palm couldn't / shouldn't do a webOS based tablet. Just that it's not going to happen on the upcoming Slate.

    02:55:22 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: Insisting HP put webOS on the Slate is fine, I guess, but it won't work: webOS is an embedded OS, while the Slate is a tablet PC.

    02:41:57 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: Working with the team getting ready to push a bunch of cool new features to gdgt tonight. Exciting!

    02:38:42 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @JKLSound @bcpk @kurmc see: http://ryanblock.com/2008/03/nielson-comscore-traffic-numbers-vs-reality/

    01:51:28 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @Beschizza AOL used panel-based comScore for Engadget's traffic, Gawker used direct-measured Quantcast for Giz. Need I say more? /cc @jason

    01:03:50 am on April 29, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @officeal I'm actually a bit of a furniture nerd! I use an Aeron at home, wasn't impressed with Embody. Thinking Leap or Think for office.

    11:22:54 pm on April 28, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @seoulfully I'm the guy who sends floppies by USPS -- Flash by FedEx is advanced! /cc @peterrojas

    11:09:35 pm on April 28, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @moldor yeah, that was not fun. Thanks for bearing with us.

    10:51:49 pm on April 28, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: @moldor we had a little bug that affected a few people. Really sorry about that! It's been fixed though -- you haven't seen it again, yeah?

    10:49:39 pm on April 28, 2010 |

     

  • ryan: Trying out a couple demo chairs for gdgt's new SF office.
